  • Windows 7 version of Spider Solitaire in Windows 8 - help!

    How do I find my version of Microsoft Windows 7 Spider Solitaire in Windows 8, with an option of four trials and all usual am familiar? I can't find a way to navigate anything I click! One of the main reasons I'm dying to upgrade to windows 7 (am severely warned not to dare!) is that for some reason any nasty and quite average, Microsoft has decided to end with spider solitaire and other games, as we know them. I can't for the life of me think why, in the construction of windows 8, it is necessary to change everything, EVERYTHING, including things that worked very well. I can't close all documents, (where is my beloved simple button X!). I hate Bing which was forced down my throat and do not even get started me on the button Start missing! I'm not a computer whizz, just a regular user and am frustrated as *! If it isn't broken don't fix! Someone suggested that maybe big companies he has requested. Well, removed only in the professional versions and keep them in the House versions! Mscheeewwww! I am really bitter with Microsoft. If I had known how much of a monster is this Windows 8, I swear that I would never have bought a new computer preloaded with it. I miss my fabulous wonderful beautiful Windows 7. Alas! They stole my computer so I had to return it to the store! Life would be more unfair? Someone give me please a little redemption by helping me find my Spider solitaire I know - simple fun, simple and clean. You open and play and close or save it.

    And don't tell me to go to xbox live!

    Waaah I HATE Windows 8!

    Sorry these games have been removed from Windows 8 by design as well as the period is no longer available. You can download Microsoft Solitaire Collection or another third-party Apps from the store. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

    The above opinion is mine and mine nothing and does not necessarily reflect that of Microsoft, it's employees, or any other Member of this forum.

  • I hid all the photos of Facebook friends somehow and do not know how to restore them. Only if you are using Firefox - how can I get back them?

    I right click a picture on Facebook, to delete a photo, there was a message from Firefox, I said 'Yes' and all THE photos of friends disappeared, not only that I clicked. I don't know how to restore them. They are obvious when you use another browser is unique to Firefox.

    It is possible that you do not recognize the server that Facebook uses to store images.

    Another way to see what images are blocked is to click on the favicon (Site ID icon) on the left side of the address bar and click the button "additional information".

    This will open the Security tab of the window of the Information Page (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).

    Go to the Media of this Page Info window tab.

    Select the first image and scroll though the list with the arrow pointing downwards.

    If a link to the image is gray and there is a check mark in the box of block Images of... just above the area 'Preview Media' can remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.
